I've been with FreeBSD long enough now that this is absolutely driving me crazy that I can't get it to work. Can someone tell me how I can extract all the bin.?? files by hand? I think its a cpio command, with gunzip, or something. Assuming my file systems have been made correctly, and I boot up with a floppy, then mount the partitions, and all the necessary files are accessible. There used to be those cool ``extract.sh'' files in the directories at ftp.cdrom.com. That's the sort of thing I'm looking for. Thanks a TON! Steve Kehlet
